UPSTREAM: crypto: arm/chacha20 - faster 8-bit rotations and other optimizations
Optimize ChaCha20 NEON performance by:
- Implementing the 8-bit rotations using the 'vtbl.8' instruction.
- Streamlining the part that adds the original state and XORs the data.
- Making some other small tweaks.
On ARM Cortex-A7, these optimizations improve ChaCha20 performance from
about 12.08 cycles per byte to about 11.37 -- a 5.9% improvement.
There is a tradeoff involved with the 'vtbl.8' rotation method since
there is at least one CPU (Cortex-A53) where it's not fastest. But it
seems to be a better default; see the added comment. Overall, this
patch reduces Cortex-A53 performance by less than 0.5%.
